Patient's question:
I have been experiencing light brown menstruation, and I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for two months from my old TCM practitioner. However, the doctor said that after taking the medicine, my menstrual flow increased significantly. But now that I have finished the medicine, I haven't noticed any increase in my menstrual flow. It's still the same as before, ending in three days. So, I would like to consult.Doctor's answer:
This could be due to inaccurate TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, abnormal hormone excretion, personal constitution, and other factors. You may consider getting re-examined at a local reputable hospital. If there is a deficiency of qi and blood, you can decide on many Chinese herbal remedies to replenish qi and blood. It may take two to three months for adjustment. If there is still no effect after three months of careful examination, you should check hormone excretion. If it is caused by abnormal hormone excretion or intrauterine adhesions, you may need to consider using hormone medication or undergoing intrauterine surgery.
